A.J. DeLaGarza made his debut for Guam on Saturday in their 1-1 draw with Laos in Vientaine.

The match was marred by some controversy due to inconsistent officiating which led DeLaGarza and many other Matao players to take to Twitter after the draw to voice their displeasure over some of the calls that they received.

DeLaGarza and Guam return to action next week against Cambodia.

Not over exaggerating, those were the worst refs I've seen in my entire life. #ENTIRE

LA Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez started and went 90 minutes as the U.S. National Team play to a scoreless draw with Scotland in a match that saw little in the way of scoring chances.

Gonzalez was his steady self making a team-leading 12 clearances on the night as Scotland forced only a single save from U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard. However, the U.S. attack was just as choppy as the team could only put two of their nine attempts on frame. The best opportunity for the Americans came in the 82nd minute when Stoke City midfielder Brek Shea found Aron Johnannsson who fired his shot just wide.

When I spoke to Gaul about his struggles in 2013, he offered a solution that could lead to greater success as he looks into year three of his professional career.

“I need to get a consistent spot,” Gaul told LA Galaxy Insider of his frustrating season. “It’s a curse being a utility guy because you bounce around different positions and never be solidified and consistent in one.”

Where Gaul goes from here remains to be seen, but the 24-year-old is hopeful that he can stay with LA next year.

“I would love to stay in LA, but we’ll see what happens. We spoke a little bit and everyone is going to find out in a couple of weeks,” said Gaul. “I just want to bounce back and be in the 18 and be in the coaches’ minds all season.”

Robbie Keane got back to his goal scoring ways on Friday with the game-winning strike in Ireland's 3-0 victory over Latvia in Dublin, which was the first victory for new manager Martin O'Neill.

Keane's 62nd international goal came in the 21st minute of play when he tucked an Aiden McGeady corner into the back of the Latvian net. The LA Galaxy captain exited in the 73rd minute, but Ireland added two more goals in the second half after tallies by McGeady and Shane Long.

As he heads into next season, he’ll have to battle with emerging goalkeeper Brian Rowe, who took full advantage of Perk’s injury issues to carve out a position as LA’s second choice between the pipes.

“It'll be fun. He’s done well. He got an opportunity and ran with it. We’ll see where the chips fall in preseason and we’ll battle it out and see how it goes,” said Perk. “The most important thing is to say healthy, but for me, I've put some things together in my mind. I've been here a long time now and very time I step on practice field, I feel really confident. And in the reserve games that I've played in here and there, I feel like I feel I do really well. It’s just getting a chance to put what I've done on the practice field and reserve teams for the first team, if I’m that lucky.”

A.J. DeLaGarza is away on his first international tour with Guam and he's clearly already a focal point of the federation.

In a team photo taken before their match against Laos, which will kick off at 1 a.m. on Friday, DeLaGarza has already been placed at the center. Also included in Guam's squad is former Galaxy Under-18 forward Josh Borja, who can be seen on the top row donning the number 11. Borja played with the Galaxy U-18's during their inaugural season and was the first LA academy player to score a goal for a full international team.

Dunivant has been the Galaxy’s “Mr. Consistency” for the past five years, by appearing in at least 25 matches each season. In 2013, Dunivant was again his reliable self as the left back made 25 appearances in league play while tallying two assists. During the team’s final media availability, the 32-year-old revealed that the deal will be keep him with the Galaxy for the next two seasons, where he should be able to continue serving as one of the team’s leaders on defense. That leadership could become pivotal as he mentors his deputy 23-year-old Greg Cochrane, who showcases the same type of workman-like play that has become a Dunivant staple. In his second year, Cochrane may make his own case for the left back position after a solid rookie season that saw him make 12 appearances, mostly filling in for Dunivant.

Hušidić is a more intriguing addition as he joins a potentially congested central midfield group for the Galaxy. The 26-year-old is coming off limited playing time with Hammarby as he made 41 appearances over two seasons with the Swedish Superettan club after a successful stint with the Chicago Fire. A tenacious midfielder displayed shades of developing into a two-way threat during his time with Chicago, but is likely to be used as a defensive option that will be expected to assist in the building of attacks. Where Hušidić fits in remains to be seen, however, as Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena would be required to drop either Marcelo Sarvas or Juninho to fit the former Hammarby player into his position in central midfield. Whichever player does start, however, will likely be the recipient of an uptick offensively as the Hušidić will be entrusted with the defensive responsibilities.
